incubus - pardon me lyrics

pardon me while i burst
pardon me while i burst

a decade ago, i never thought i would be.
at twenty three on the verge of spontaneous combustion. woe-is-me
but i guess that it goes with the territory.
anonymous landscape of never-ending calamity.
i need you to hear. i need you to see.
that i have had all i can take
and exploding seems like a definite possibility
to me

so pardon me while i burst into flames.
i've had enough of the world, and its people's mindless games
so pardon me while i burn, and rise above the flame
pardon me, pardon me. i'll never be the same.

not two days ago i was having a look in a book
and i saw a picture of a guy fried up above his knees
i said i can relate
cause lately i've been thinking of combustication as a welcomed vacation from.
the burdens of the planet earth, like gravity, hypocrisy, and the perils of being in 3-d
and thinking so much differently.

so pardon me while i burst into flames.
i've had enough of the world, and it's people's mindless games
pardon me while i burn, and rise above the flame
pardon me, pardon me. i'll never be the same.
never be the same...yeah.
pardon me while i burst into flames.
pardon me, pardon me, pardon me.
so pardon me while i burst into flames.
i've had enough of the world, and it's people's mindless games
so pardon me while i burn, and rise above the flame
pardon me, pardon me. i'll never be the same.
pardon me, never be the same. yeah
